📝 Preparation Steps

With a handheld mixer (or stand mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment), beat butter on medium speed for about ⏱️ 2 minutes or until creamy and lightened in color, scraping down the bowl as needed.
3
Add cocoa powder, vanilla extract, salt, and espresso powder (if using) until combined and smooth.

4
Add in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until sugar is incorporated, scraping down the bowl several times to ensure everything is well blended.

Beat
6
Slowly beat in 3 tbsp of heavy cream, increasing speed to high and beating for 1 more minute until frosting reaches desired consistency.
7
Add in more heavy cream, 1 tbsp at a time, only if necessary. Frosting should be light and fluffy, and easily spreadable, but hold its shape if spreading, or a little stiffer and does not fall if piping.
8
Use as desired for cupcakes or cake right away or store for later.
